This is a topic both specific question and general comment on Tamiya paints. First, in general, why do they have so many colors, including some so close to each other, but fail to have US inteterior green and want you to custom mix two colors. And the result does not even look right. Compared to some colors they do have that are almost only ever needed for tiny bits (like clear anything), you can go thru a lot of interior yellow.
2nd, specifically, I am working on a 1/32nd scale Corsair. For main color it lists their AS spray can stuff , an US Navy Blue. But they do not carry that in XF jars nor do they have a custom XF mix for it in the instructions. I bought the XF-type "sea blue", but it is too dark. I bought the X-type "royal blue" , but it is too shiny.
I want to be able to brush paint some small parts, and I would prefer to air brush on an acrylic versus the much smellier AS product.
What would you use?
Oh and I don't like Vallejo model air.
My LHS store had one small can of Tamiya AS "US navy blue" left and I bought it, but it is pretty small and I cannot get one shipped here to Alaska.
Would hate to run out of the spray can stuff mid way.
Thanks
